rise of the reality jeremy for the phone business bulletin thank you past the hour right. now you're with r.t. live from moscow where it's just after five pm on wednesday welcome to the program well most are four months now since the massive earthquake and tsunami tore through japan's northeast this morning task of rebuilding homes and lives continues that's have been boosted by the passing of a second emergency budget of almost twenty five billion dollars but as well as a financial assistance traumatized survivors are also in desperate need of emotional support for starters transformers reports. as the waves crash against the damage to sea wall on the japanese coast volunteers work tirelessly to

clean up the debris and bring some sense of normalcy back to the area. and i want to tell people we need more help more supplies and things are still beyond here beyond the physical destruction and there is a distressing psychological factor as well as city if you want he is right on the edge of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone for radiation contamination and fact in a recent study by japan's nuclear safety commission forty five percent of one thousand children tested in walking into neighboring cities have tested positive for thyroid radiation exposure a figure that has parents appalled that we have the government has researched the great seriousness safety and are not concerned with a consequence since their reaction is to help the government see face but they don't actually take care of the damage and the people here first there was the earthquake then that had devastating away which rushed in and destroyed this part of the coastal city of iraq and also there are the nuclear radiation waves that are coming into this area as well the volunteers that are coming in to rebuild this

city certainly have their work cut out for them but just like the city itself the people who live here the community they need to have their spirits rebuilt as well but. again in an effort to keep the community emotionally strong organizers have brought this acting troupe in from tokyo they say their goal is to provide something beyond simple entertainment. we have a certain japanese pride and in this destructive situation i would like to bring good things and present the spirit of japan and japanese pride by bringing people together and making people smile. through and shared community experience there is a sense of hope that the city of milwaukee can indeed recover from a convenience store because if you close. the city although it's a good suit you think life is coming back. and with an understanding that there is still much more work that needs to be done and people here are working to keep

their community together. i just want them to stay where they want and if i can be helpful that i kept doing it. and rebuilding the city one step at a time any walk a city japan sean thomas or cheat now in the wake of the crisis of japan is going to stress test each of us nuclear power plants to that and what determine how well the reactors could withstand further natural disasters the move is also an aim to assure people that the facilities are safe we spoke to the director general of the world nuclear association who blames the media for stirring up public planning in japan is a preview of what's to come for you next hour and. we've just seen twenty four thousand japanese citizens killed by an earthquake and a tsunami. we've seen the media have a frenzy in covering the accident at fukushima which has not made have not been

very responsible for a single radiation fatality i think it was a tragedy in terms of the world's understanding of the essential safety of nuclear power i also think however that it might also be educational in the long term because people have begun to focus on and as they begin to begin to focus even more clearly on the ultimate consequence of the fukushima they will learn that there was relatively little damage done. all of our five minutes past the hour here in moscow the russian government has published a list of all individuals and organizations proven to be sponsoring terrorism it also includes international entities involved in funding extremism taken from a un a block list i want all three courses correspondent in a culture that has details on. a list of individuals and companies suspected also involvement in financing of terrorism was published in this government own

newspaper this morning no this document was a previously confidential but now part of it is that open to public now companies that are present in this list are located in different countries and basically across the globe there are companies that are based in egypt in afghanistan in somalia and even in germany and the united states in terms of individuals the old who come from a significant range of countries from the countries of the middle east from african countries from germany the united states and from russia russian citizens primarily komo from of the republics of the followed region of russia's north caucasus from change and foam and there are also some well known names in this list some well known groups like of the muslim brotherhood. and russia's most wanted terrorist the motto of this document shows is that some kind of a nod or a has been created that connects countries with each other and that the problem of terrorism has become an international issue now several years ago the world thought

off by chance is that our present here in this region as chechen rebels but now the situation has changed with russia's most wanted some not of being present on the list of the world's most wanted terrorists and it really is this document shows how the system works and thoughts of the problem all for term is far from being sold and it is an international problem. i think there's a million a question of course right that one as a russian brings to light the growing globalization of terrorism the un is pressing ahead with the controversial indictment of several has all of this for the assassination of lebanon's prime minister in two thousand and five people discusses the matter with his guests and cross talk which is our next being shown at three thirty pm g.m. see his acquittal. i can see that it has no law or any other faction for that matter but i don't want to destabilize the country they can as well as one of the

factors in lebanon so far and i'm sorry if people disagree but that's a fact on the ground that has made sure that this state you know that this country continues to be stabilized and refuses to call it space and in a sectarian war or a conflict or to cause this that is a sugared. going on. down the government. you know. lebanon votes everyone of no confidence like any other country. approaching the ten minute mark of the hour here in moscow europe's ongoing struggle to save the euro has been dealt another blow as portugal has had its debt downgraded to junk status and moody's their credit rating agency behind the move says

a default is unlikely unless the country is given yet another bailout many analysts have questioned the logic of saddling struggling economies with more debt as speculation grows over whether the e.u. is ready to come to portugal's rescue again and the direction of the e.u. and the i.m.f. are taking in solving this crisis may well lead to severe consequences according to douglas carswell an m.p. from the british conservative party. i think it would be immensely food to have another bailout because what we're doing with each so-called bailout is adding to the amount of debt owed by countries who are already bankrupt if we really want to fix this problem instead of adding to the debts of portugal greece and other countries what we should be doing is three things we should be devaluing their currencies that means leaving the euro we should be allowing them to default on their debt restructuring if you prefer that term and we should be forcing them to downsize their expensive bloated public sectors for example in greece at the moment i think forty two percent of total debt is owned by foreign private institutions

many french and german banks by so-called bailing out greece we're not helping greek people what we're doing is we're transferring that debt burden on to the shoulders of european taxpayers it's frankly an outrageous scam and i think it will mean that you know my children and my children's children will have vastly higher tax bills it's not right it's not good for us in western europe it's not good for greece it's not good for portugal the argument is that we should continue to pay this money to the i.m.f. but i happen to think the i.m.f. is not doing what it has historically done so well it's actually. it is an organization that is that is run with the wrong approach it's a little bit like putting the arsonists in charge of the fire department we'll continue to see hard pressed western european taxpayers asked all rather not asked but required without consent to foot the bill for the folly of the political class in pursuit of

a grandiose vision of monetary union it's outrageous and it's not fair incidentally it's also going to consign us to the economic slow lane for many years to come it is continuous. you will see and coming away in just a few minutes here next gains technological revolution a boost to the trade of indian a fisherman how mobile phones have transformed their businesses and then are. plus what's behind their romania's wish to unite with a neighboring and moldova r.t. reports from both countries where tensions are high. germany is reportedly selling two hundred battle tanks to saudi arabia talk of a deal has caused outrage among germany's opposition politicians who claim the government would be breaking its own export rules peace activist younes wagner says that he fears the heavy weapons could be used to crush the regime protests in the region he must see the weapons deal in commentary with all its encounters with the. with the regional dominance of the region so obvious

business and turning them into entrepreneurs and business men in their communities most of these fishermen have been doing this work for generations and never imagined they'd become so tech savvy had watched their fathers and grandfathers come home from sea several times with no fish at all but today that never happens. there's a lot of difference between the times when we used to gay fishing with stick boats and now when we go fishing with engine but off to the arrival of the phone it's become easier for a little study show that mobile phones aren't just empowering the fisherman in the community more competition means better prices for consumers on average they fallen by four percent it's a new quality of life for the people of this community who never dreamed that they would escape poverty and live where you most fishermen they're illiterate but we want to give a proper education to our children and that is possible because of the earning we get from the fishing business has no doubts that mobile phones have helped.

bucharest and kisha now since two thousand and nine some movements in romania have been complaining to win back what they see as their land. since april it's been impossible to miss colorful stickers like that in towns and cities across romania best around here is romania they say believing that the land which is now the sovereign state of republic of moldova must again be under book arrest control and indeed it was until the nineteenth century which saw it pass hands several times with the collapse of the u.s.s.r. moldova declared independence becoming a member of the united nations the cancel of europe and the world trade organization now in alliance of more than thirty n.g.o.s in romania say these achievements would be sacrificed in the name of reunification while unification i. will of the romanians from the two states from romania republic of moldova one state because for the. fact we are separated unjustly and we want
